Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Legal Drama
Michael Gottlieb told TMZ that she will not back down and fight for her se*ual harassment case against Justin Baldoni. She is taking it to trial, not for herself, but for women who have faced similar situations. This reaction came when Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told the publication that her legal team was celebrating too soon. Freedman added that he intends to refile the four allegations that were dismissed without prejudice and hopes to depose the actress later this month, unless she withdraws her complaint. However, Gottlieb claims that such is not the case. “Blake isn’t dropping the case. “She wants to hold him accountable in court,” he explained.
The court sided on the Gossip Girl actress’s side, ruling that her statements in the legal complaint were protected that the New York Times relied on those claims during reporting. Thought it was a huge win, her attorney understood that this was just one part of the legal process. In recent updates, she is getting ready for the trial without being intimidated by Baldoni’s intent to refile.
